Default Lost to 06 SE-R! Need upgrades!

i raced an 06 SE-R. I got a 94 5.0 5 speed conv. My mods are just a JLT cold air intake and BBK aluminum pullies. i lost twice by a car and a half. what should i get next to beef up my vehicle without supercharging it or running nos! I was thinking geting an x pipe and catback with a racing chip, or getting headers and a 75 mm throttle body! What would u guys recommend to beef up my vehicle without breaking the bank!? I just cant standing losing 2 an import!

Id recommend 373's if its stick. How many miles are on your car and what kind of maintainence have you done to it
